Radeweise , in Lower Sorbian Radowis or Radojz (composed of the Sorbian words rado vis - welcome or pleasant view ), was a place about 8 km northwest of Spremberg .

history

Radeweise was a clustered village . The first documentary mention goes back to 1527. The spelling of the place name changed over the years from Radeweiß (1618), Radowis (1761) to Radowiz (1843) to today's Radeweise. By bike, lying in a depression, the landscape was characterized by swamps and moist meadows. The originally existing mixed forest has been displaced over the years by the typical pine trees. The nearby brook on the road to Wolkenberg , the chicken water (also called Schuga or Tschuga in Sorbian parlance), was fed by seven springs . According to a statistical survey by Arnošt Muka in 1880 97% of the population were Sorbs .

In 1934 the volunteer fire brigade Radeweise was founded. In the spring of 1945 the place suffered considerable war damage from the advancing front and after the end of the fighting it was considered the most severely destroyed municipality in the Spremberg district at that time . More than 50% of the building stock in the village was destroyed after the conquest by the 1st Ukrainian Front in the morning hours of April 19, 1945.

On February 6, 1950, the Stradow- Radeweise village cooperative was founded, which promoted the new cooperative restructuring and use of agriculture. On January 1, 1967, the municipality of Radeweise merged with the neighboring municipality of Straussdorf to form the municipality of Radeweise-Straussdorf. In 1971 it became necessary to connect the municipality of Radeweise to the public drinking water supply due to the lowering of the groundwater due to the approaching opencast mine .

On January 1, 1986, Radeweise-Straussdorf was incorporated into the city of Spremberg. In January 1986 the last residents of Radeweise moved to the nearby district town of Spremberg. New living space had been created there in prefabricated buildings . Radeweise was completely demolished in the following months and then fell victim to the advancing Welzow-Süd opencast mine . Today the former location of Radeweise has been recultivated and several large field stones in the former town center remind of its fate.

economy

In Radeweise, in contrast to many other small villages in Lower Lusatia, not only agriculture was carried out, but also other handicrafts to a modest extent . Radeweise had three mills , a brickworks , a spinning mill and a brewery .

On March 22, 1954, a type I LPG named IV.  Party Congress was founded , but it was dissolved again on December 31, 1956 due to a lack of members. In 1955, an MTS was built in the former estate for the villages of Radeweise, Stradow and Straussdorf . On May 16, 1956, a melioration cooperative was founded , which was transferred on March 1, 1963 to the LPG Glückauf , which was newly founded on March 17, 1960 . On March 18, 1964, the ZMO unit was founded . In 1969 a ZEW was founded . On April 1, 1970, 6 LPG merged to form the Type III LPG unit Radeweise , which then gradually joined ZEW until 1975.

Brew mug material

In addition to the estate, Radeweise also had a brewery jug ( hereditary property ), which owned extensive land, buildings and the right to brew . From 1695 to 1858 the brewery Kruggut was owned by the Krüger family. The beginning of the right to brew this brewery mug goes back to about the middle of the 16th century. The last owners from 1976 to 1986 were the members of the Schulze family. The brew was last exercised at the beginning of the 20th century, because the brewing building was demolished by the then owner, August Nakoinz, 1910th

School development

Like the neighboring community of Straussdorf, Radweise did not have its own school until the end of World War II . School-age children from Radeweise started school in Stradow , children from Straussdorf until 1945 in Rehnsdorf , then in Klein Buckow . The history of the school in Stradow can be traced back to 1818. In 1885 37 children from Radeweise went to the school in Stradow, 2 km away, often under the most difficult conditions.

On October 1, 1959, a polytechnic high school was set up in the premises of the old manor house . The new school district was created with the Radeweise school combine, to which the following places belonged: Groß Buckow , Klein Buckow, Straussdorf, Stradow, Wolkenberg and Radeweise. From November 15, 1971, school meals were introduced. In January 1983 the Radeweise school combination was dissolved. With the construction of a new school building in nearby Spremberg, in which the children of the meanwhile devastated towns of Groß Buckow and Stradow also went to school, it had lost its importance.

Ownership

The neighboring village of Papproth ( Sorbian Paprotna , in German fern ) also belonged to the Radeweise manor until 1936 . The property consisted of the land in the Radeweise district and the lands around Papproth. After 1936 Papproth went over to the neighboring community of Jehserigk . At the beginning of the 16th century, at the time of the Reformation , the Radeweise estate belonged to those of Lawald (also Lawalt or Lawaldt). The last landowners of the Lawalt line were Hans and Siegfried von Lawalt until around 1640, after which Konrad von Löben took over the estate. The estate was sold again in 1666, this time to Kaspar Leupold, who in turn sold it to Alexander Siegfried von Murche in the same year. In 1668 Martin Friedrich Meurer became the owner of the Radeweise estate, in whose family the estate was to remain for over 200 years.

In 1922 the Ilsemann family took over the estate, who sold it to the Trautmann family in 1933, who remained its owners until 1945. On April 19, 1945, the end of the fighting over Radeweise, the last landowner fled to the west with his landlords and other families of the village. After the end of World War II , the last lords of Radeweise were also expropriated . All areas and buildings were given to new residents and resettlers.
